DCP 2 0verview
The module is assessed solely by coursework.
Task Overview
Students will work on their own chosen project, conducting fieldwork, and then submit a paper report of - 6,000 words (+/- 10%)*. Building on from Dissertation Consultancy Project 1 and taking into account your formative and summative feedback, you are now required to implement your project plan and produce a Project that includes original research.

*(Students should check their diary via the assessment schedule system for the exact hand-in date).

Dissertation Consultancy Project
●Conduct original research within a given organisational context by applying concepts and techniques based on qualitative and/or quantitative approaches to business problems and issues to pursue solutions. Demonstrate a critical understanding of a chosen management issue by applying relevant management theory to practice. Evaluate data in a clear and logical form using appropriate techniques.
● Exhibitacademic rigor in the pursuit of knowledge; apply a critical approach to information and knowledge and demonstrate the contestability of knowledge.

Word Count

The 6,000 words +/-10% include your main text and any appendices necessary to your argument but NOT your list of references. If you include in appendices material such as final copies of questionnaires, covering letters to interviewees, or other material of this type, which in themselves are not part of the argument, it will NOT normally be included in the word count.

You may go over or under the number of words specified by 10% without penalty. The idea of the limit is to tell you how deeply we expect you to go into the subject, so it makes sense to aim as close as possible to it. Do not imagine that the more words you use the more marks you will get. If you go significantly over or under the word count you will lose marks.
